When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village.They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals (灌溉渠) and other projects began to be built in my village. “Who are they ”I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied.
Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The can al ran past every orchard, so villagers didn't have to go up and down the hill anymore.The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project (水利工程) was completed, a policy (政策) was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.
Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside. Nowadays, people work hard to live in a big city. However, we should not forget our hometowns where we are from.

But in the old days it was a poor little town. Many people had no work. They lived a hard life. There was no tall building and the only street was narrow(狭窄的). But trees and flowers made the town beautiful. Just outside the town, there was a river. You could see different kinds of fish swimming in the clear water. People here lived a simple life.
Since the government took a new policy(政策), great changes have taken place there. The streets have been widened. Factories,schools, hospitals, cinemas and theaters have been built one after another. People's life is greatly improved. You can see tall buildings,big department stores and factories everywhere. Different kinds of cars and buses are running in the wide streets.
But with the development of the industry, we have fewer trees.Air pollution and water pollution are becoming more and more serious. And there are also other problems. We should try our best to make it richer. At the same time we must do something to stop pollution.
